La sal

Born in the early seventies, Sibila, the author of this novel and the protagonist of this story, is a "nobody girl", like many of the children of that generation of "progressive" and atheist parents. An unhappy child, often mistreated, who grows up in the open between a domineering and alcoholic father, but also cultured and sensitive, and an absent mother. Already past forty and as a result of the unexpected pain caused by the death of her father, the author recounts her complicated relationship with him, from her childhood to adulthood, in what she wants to be an exercise on lost childhoods, the absurdity and vitality of family ties and the need to love and be loved.
